Product Description

In Christianity today, the most frequently discussed issues are "salvation from sin" and "the indwelling of the Holy Spirit." However, few people have precise knowledge of these two ideas, despite the fact that they are the two most important concepts in Christianity. What is worse, we can't find any biblical writing that teaches us clearly about the issues above. There have been lots of Christian authors glorifying the gifts of the Holy Spirit or describing the Spirit-filled lives. But any of them dares to deal with the fundamental question, "How can a believer surely receive the Holy Spirit?" Why? Surprising truth is that they couldn't write about it in full-scale because they didn't have exact knowledge of it. As Prophet Hosea cried out, "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge," nowadays, not a few Christians are drawn into religious fanaticism, hoping to receive the Holy Spirit. They believe that they will receive the Holy Spirit by reaching a state of ! frenzy and hysteria. But it is no exaggeration to say that their so-called faith reduces Christianity to mere shallow Shamanism, and that such fanaticism derives from Satan.

The author Rev. Paul C. Jong dares to proclaim the truth. He deals the essential subjects in full-scale, which most spiritual writers have evaded for a long time. He first defines the meaning of "being born again" and "the indwelling of the Holy Spirit," and explains the inevitable relationship between the two pivotal concepts. Then he runs the whole gamut of description concerning the Holy Spirit, from "how to discern the spirits" to "the way to Spirit-filled lives." For more information, the author advises you to examine the contents of this book posted on this web page.

From the Publisher

If you decide to read only one book, except Bible, in a year as a Christian, I strongly recommend this one book for you. I am sure this book must be second to none to any Christian readers. Its cool and clear description of the indwelling of the Holy Spirit is absolutely biblical. Having published Rev. Jong's writings for years by the name of "Paul C. Jong's Christian Book Series," I might have been more blessed than anyone else because I have been the first reader of his books. His sermons of this title are vivid, accurate, soul-wining, and faith-filled. He is a servant of God who dares to proclaim the truth against prevailing false prophets of today¡¯s Christianity. We are very proud of his all titles, and are prepared to publish his succeeding writings.

1.0 out of 5 stars Holy Spirit - speaking in tongues, January 16, 2004

By	S. Craft (North Carolina, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The author repeats himself ALOT in this book and it could be half the size. I believe in most of what he writes and I AM a Christian who has been saved by the Grace of God. I have been led by God to research the Baptism of the Holy Spirit and the Gifts that go along with it. I have been researching for about 4 months now.

I do NOT agree with Paul C. Jong when he writes on page 242 #8 "He should therfore abstain from speaking in tongues." He is referencing 1 Corinthians 14:19 PLEASE fellow believers who seek the Baptism, read the verse right before this one. Verse 18 says "I THANK GOD THAT I SPEAK IN TONGUES MORE THAN ALL OF YOU." At this point, in my research, I truly believe that God wants all believers to be Baptized with his Holy Spirit and to receive the gifts he has for us.

I don't want anyone who reads this book to miss out on the gifts God has for us believers. Please keep that in mind when reading this book and don't let satan scare you. God has lead me to write this review. I don't normally take the time.

Two great books I would recommend over this one are:
#1Seven Vital Steps to Receiving the Holy Spirit by Kenneth Hagan
This one is a quick read.
#2Filled with the Spirit by Joyce Meyer
Joyce also has a great video out call Receiving the Baptism of the Holy Spirit.

I think Mr. Jong is alittle narrow minded on the subject of speaking in tongues and I am praying for him.

Blessings to all of you. :-)

1.0 out of 5 stars A fail-safe way to sell a book, September 30, 2006

By	Jerry Mcinnis "leprechaun" (Houston,Tx) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was very disappointed with the contents in this book. After a cursory reading my first impulse was to throw it into the trash. However, out of
repect for God and the Holy Spirit I declined. The book is poorly written,redundant to a fault, and very rudimentary. It does not belong in a library of serious religious study. It does not challenge the reader nor engage the reader's mind. It's much too simple. It does not reflect the fruit of the spirit. Alas we cannot spin scripture to support our belief. Nor should we interject thoughts as biblical truths which are not scriptually based. "And if you receive the forgiveness of sin, then you will also recieve the Holy Spirit." This is not sound doctrine.

5.0 out of 5 stars I BELIEVE IT, July 6, 2002

By	Debra Thompson (MITCHELL,INDIANA) - See all my reviews

SATAN CAUSES PEOPLE TO FALL UNDER INFLUENCE OF SUPERSTITIOUS BELIEFS AND TAKES THEM AS SUPERNATURAL MIRACLES AND WONDERS BY CAUSING THEM TO THINK THAT THEIR EXPERIENCES ARE MORE VALUABLE THAN RECEIVING THE INDWELLING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT THROUGH THE FAITH IN THE BEAUTIFUL GOSPEL. I TRUST WHAT IS IN THE BOOKS THAT PAUL C.JONG WRITES,,,,IF IT WASN'T FOR HIS BOOKS I WOULD PROBABLY NOT EVEN PICK UP THE BIBLE AN READ.THOSE BOOKS HAVE HELPED ME REALIZE THAT THERE IS A "GOD" AN WHOEVER WANTS TO MAKE IT PLAINER TO THE PUBLIC IN THEIR OWN WAY THEN I AM ALL FOR IT,.IT HAS HELPED ME A LOT,ANSWERED THINGS FOR ME THAT I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND.I THANK THE GOOD LORD FOR SENDING THEIR MINISTRY TO MY E-MAIL BOX,. THANK YOU PASTOR SHIN,PASTOR KIM. THERE IS NO SATAN IN MY HOME,THERES NO ONE TELLING ME WHAT TO WRITE,THIS REVIEW COMES FROM MY HEART.I LIVE FOR JESUS AN CAN SAY THAT PAUL C.JONG MADE THAT POSSIBLE FOR ME.I READ THE BIBLE BUT DON'T UNDERSTAND MOST OF IT,SO THE BOOKS HAVE COME IN HANDY FOR ME. BELIEVE IT OR NOT!
